这个小家被称为 “屋顶屋”，位于Lat Phrao地区。它是位于附近的老房子的延伸。这块地呈正方形，面积为16×16米，周围有很多住宅，而前面有一条安静的小巷子。

This little home is called ‘The Roof House’ and it is located in Lat Phrao’s area. It is an extension of the old house that is located nearby. The land has a square shape at a size of 16×16 meters; surrounded by residential houses along its three dimensions.Whereas the front area has a small quiet alley passing by.

一位业主发起了一个想法，要建造一个可以为多种活动服务的房子，增加他居住了15年的老房子的使用功能。此外，屋顶屋作为一个公共区域，聚集了各种家庭成员的活动；例如，作为休闲区、客人区、周六和周日活动的钢琴课区和狗的操场。

An owner initiated an idea to build the house that serves several activities and increase usage functions of the old house that he had lived in for more than 15 years. Moreover, the Roof House performs as a common area that gathers a variety of family members’ activities; for example, being relaxing area, guest area, piano lesson area for Saturday and Sunday activities and playground for the dog.

由于有限的预算和有限的空间，Looklen Architects将布局设计成一个开放的计划，将所有功能连接成一个区域。同时，这种设计也为将来的使用创造了多用途的功能。位于土地中央的现有树木的接壤处，在房子的中间形成了一个庭院。

Due to the limited budget and limited space, Looklen Architects designed the layout to be an open plan to connect all functions as one area. Also, this design creates multipurpose functions for future usage. The bordering of an existing tree, which is located in the middle of the land, forms a courtyard in the middle of the house.

中央庭院也是每个房屋功能的焦点。此外，它造成了一个与外界相通的通风空间。不过，它通过使用大墙的元素，在房子的前面，向对方弯曲，为房子提供了隐私。屋顶屋的特点是受到热带的启发。
The central courtyard is also a focus point of each house functions. Additionally, it causes an airy space that connect to the outside. Still, it provides privacy to the house by using elements of large walls, at the front of the house, that bend towards each other. The Roof House’s character is Tropical inspired.

屋顶被设计成臀部屋顶，中间有一个洞，为房子创造通风的空间，并通过其长长的屋檐为其他区域提供遮阳。主体结构是由钢制成的；使房子的重量很轻。前面是房子最开放的空间，由14米长的宽跨度结构建成。旁边的倾斜墙是为了与中间的院子兼容。这样做是为了在进入房子的时候构建有趣的视角。

The roof is designed to be a hip roof, where it has a hole in the middle to create airy space for the house and provide shade for the other areas by its long eaves. The main structure is made from steel; making the house light weighted. The front is the most open space of the house which is built by wide span structure of a 14-meter long. Beside tilted wall is intended to compatible with the middle courtyard. This is to construct interesting perspective when entering into the house.

建筑师希望通过屋顶的角度和内部天花板的连接，将房屋结构和空间结合起来，成为一个元素。建筑师还使用木材作为主要材料，因为它能产生一种温暖的气氛，并减少回声。此外，连接的木质天花板将内部区域和外部区域联系起来。

建筑师通过沿着屋顶的一侧安装向上的光线来增强家庭环境。从外面看，有一个板条围栏，作为房子的双立面；为屋顶屋建立隐私。虽然如此，附近的居民还是能够欣赏到一个开放的空间和绿色区域。

An architect intent to unite the house structure and its space to be as one element by the connection of roof’s angle and inside ceiling. The architect also uses wood as a primary material because it generates a warm atmosphere and decreases echo.Furthermore, the connected wood ceiling bonds inside-area with outside-area.

The architect enhances a homely environment by installing up light along the roof’s side. From the outside perspective, there is a lath fence that acts as the house’s double façade; to build privacy for the Roof House. Though, the neighborhoods are able to appreciate an open space and green area.

在设计屋顶屋时，建筑师还考虑到通过采用被动式设计方法来节约能源，使之与环境相协调。建筑师分离了一侧的坡屋顶（北侧），让更多的风和阳光通过庭院。朝向北面和东面的5米长的窗户让房子全天都能得到照明。此外，长条形的滑动隔板让风在房子里流动。当所有的隔断被打开时，它们将房子的功能调整为半室内区域。

When designing the Roof House, the architect also considers energy saving by adopting passive design method to be harmonious with an atmosphere. The architect detaches one side of the hip roof (North side) to allow more wind and sunlight passing through the courtyard. There are 5-meter windows the face towards the North and the East allow the house to be lighted all day long. Moreover, long-sliding partitions allow wind to flow through the house. When all partitions are opened, they adjust the house’s function to be semi-indoor area.
